Giganten (1956)
Als der texanische Großgrundbesitzer und Rancher aus Leidenschaft Bick Benedict auf einer Farm in Maryland eintrifft, um einen Hengst zu kaufen, trifft es ihn wie ein Schlag. Die schöne Tochter seines Geschäftspartners, Leslie, erobert sein Herz im Sturm. Doch sie ist kein dummes Frauchen. Sie sagt ihre Meinung, vertritt ihren Standpunkt, auch wenn das Bick anfangs mehr als nur irritiert. Die beiden heiraten und kehren zusammen auf Benedicts Ranch zurück, wo sich die Geschichte ihrer Familien und die Rivalität mit dem Cowboy Jett Rink durch einen überraschenden Ölfund mit tragischem Ausgang schicksalshaft fortsetzt.
